World Of Tanks will hit Version 1.0 in March 2018 - try the demo right now!

Wargaming's colossally popular MMO World Of Tanks will hit version 1.0 in March 2018, the publisher has announced. Update 1.0 will bring with it a massive graphical update, "to meet modern graphical standards". Details below, as well as a link to the demo so you can check out the new engine right now!

Version 1.0 of World Of Tanks will bring with it the long-promised graphical update, complete with a revamped graphics engine, completely revamped and HD-ified maps, and even new sound effects and a dynamic soundtrack. Check out a couple of before and after pictures below, or a video here.

Milos Jerabek, World of Tanks Development Director, had some words on the update.

"Update 1.0 is a true game-changer. Though the spirit of the game remains the same, the introduction of the new graphics engine leads to a far greater boost in image fidelity than a simple resolution increase. It’s a staggering difference from the game as you know it, and we can’t wait for players to get hands-on with it."

Even better, Wargaming have provided an engine demo for everyone to try out, to see how the new graphics look in-game, tweak the settings, and see how well Update 1.0 will perform on your system. Click here to get the demo! Alternatively, head here if you're having trouble with the direct link.

You can check out the full new trailer for World of Tanks Update 1.0 and the new graphics engine below. It certainly looks pretty spectacular, and considering the game's around 7-8 years old at this point that's truly amazing.

You know, it's disappointing to think that out of all of the copycat tank MMOs out there, none of them ever managed to actually beat World of Tanks at their own game after all these years. They just kept coming up short, or their developers went from awesome to crap like Armored Warfare did.. but that was mostly My.Com's fault, not Obsidian.
And yes, I know some of you are going to say that War Thunder is still going strong, and I won't lie, you're right. But their strength is in flight simulations, not tank combat.

Thanks, but no thanks. And seeing how "well" the MOO reboot turned, i can't say that Wargaming are the type of company that can make a decent SP or MP game. And Hybrid Wars was an absolute fiasco. I wonder how many even know about it. Their old games weren't too good either and most are long forgotten.
I doubt that Splash will do anything creative with Wargaming, a company known for ignoring their fanbase and even mocking it. Sorry, but no excitment here. Only regret for the people that are choosing to collaborate with Wargaming.
